Coverage minimums depend on which factor?

• A. Registered class (general vs extended)
• B. Hospital size
• C. Nurse's age
• D. Jurisdiction

Answer: (A)

Coverage minimums follow the level of responsibility you’re authorized to take on, which is defined by your registration class. The registered class sets your scope of practice and the associated risk exposure, so the insurance limits are scaled to that risk. A general registration covers a narrower set of duties, so the minimum coverage is lower; extended practice involves broader, higher-risk tasks, leading to higher required coverage. Hospital size or a nurse’s age don’t determine these minimums, and while jurisdiction shapes the overarching rules, the key factor that directly sets the minimums is the registered class.
